The professional competence of an expert is characterized by the ability to assess their activities, to keep track of newly available information, to form new competencies and improve the already developed to use them, taking advantages of modern technology.
The analysis of radio engineering practice shows that the existing pedagogical conditions are not sufficient to form and de-velop the identified competencies that imposes the need to identify and justify additional or improving existing teaching conditions.
The purpose of the article is a theoretical justification and experimental verification of the effectiveness of logical optimiza-tion of didactic units of the content of the lecture and laboratory teaching material in the formation and development of profession-al competencies of future radio engineers.
The leading method when the logical structuring of didactic units in the content of educational material is simulation method which allows to consider the problem as a holistic and task-oriented process of formation and development of the student's specif-ic professional competencies in radio engineering.
The article is illustrated by a model of logically structured content of training material based on the integration of the system, activity and competence approaches. Didactically tried-and-true on the basis of these approaches, the process of formation and development of professional skills of the future radio engineers in the context of decision-making in the unity of instrumental and substantial levels is required for both a potential production manager and the particular performer.
The algorithm for gradual formation and development in educational and cognitive activity of the professional competencies was developed and tested and the adaptive learning environment, in which the conditions for their assimilation has been created, was proposed. The materials of the article can be also useful for other engineering specialties.
